Sopchoppy council approves application for Myron B. Hodge boat-ramp upgrades
Summary
The Sopchoppy City Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-01 authorizing an application to the Florida Wildlife Commission Florida Boating Improvement Program to fund boat-ramp upgrades at Myron B. Hodge City Park.
Mayor Leonard Tartt called the Sopchoppy City Council to order April 13. The council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 2026-01, which authorizes submission of an application to the Florida Wildlife Commission Florida Boating Improvement Program to fund upgrades at the Myron B. Hodge City Park boat ramp.
City Clerk Ashley Schilling read the resolution by title. Vice Mayor Edwards moved to adopt the measure and Councilwoman Westmark seconded; the motion passed 4–0. The resolution authorizes staff to pursue grant funding; specifics of the proposed upgrade (scope, timeline, and exact funding request) were not specified in the meeting record and will be brought to council for follow-up if the grant application advances.
The adoption is procedural authorization to apply for the state boating-improvement grant. The council did not take further action on design or construction contracts at this meeting. The next steps are grant application submission and, if funding is offered, later council approvals for contract awards and project details.
